Soliai signed a 2 year $12M deal. With his signing bonus of $3.85 split and his $5,7M salary, he will cost almost $8M this year. Based on his play, and the fact that he is only in on half the snaps, hardly a good deal or, worth re-signing.

I think you are quite mistaken. He's a quality nose tackle.

Is he really on the field for half the snaps? Any evidence behind this. Not being an ass here, just thought it'd be higher than that...

A little more than half, played 627 all season. I don't think that is particularly unusable for a player like him though, and I don't think it's a huge issue considering he's a quality player on the downs he does play. It's all about rotation, keeping guys fresh and having the right personnel for each situation. Soliai does his job and does it well.

Totally agree, major reason why we did so well against the run this year. Wouldnt be surprised if its when we took him out we had trouble against the run...
